The suns shinning down into my room, hitting me right in the face earning a groan from me and causing me to roll over, turning my back to the window. I start falling asleep again when the alarm goes off, sounding like something inside it's dieing. I sigh, reaching across the bed, to the side table and slamming my hand down on it a few times, mostly with enough force to break it. In the end it shuts up and I crack open an eye to look at the time. 9Am, perfect. "Looks like I'll be neither late nor early" I say, sitting up and rubbing my eyes with the palms of my hands before swinging my legs over the edge of the bed and getting up. As I walk over to the wardrobe to get out the clothes I'll be wearing I refrain from looking at my reflection, no matter how much I want to, I know I won't like what I see. I open the wardrobe doors, grab a dark green shirt, blue baggy jeans and a darker green jacket. I quickly slip into the clean clothes before I grab a rather large backpack, well large enough to hold the things inside it, grab my keys and leave. It's a relatively warm day, so I keep a hold of the jacket, deciding I won't need to wear it until my trip home.
I haven't lived here long, maybe little under a year. And by here I mean New York, after that alien attack, they called them the Chitauri I think. Many people left, or died during the attack. To be honest I don't know why I even came here, I was fine over in Australia but maybe I just needed a change of scenery. I watched the clean up from the battle like most of the world probably did, the after math could only tell part of the story the battle would have held. I mean, who the hell brings an alien army into a city and starts blowing crap up without a good reason? From what the news told us, a lot of people were pissed at the Avengers, while a lot of others were glad they had helped, stopped some dude called Loki from what I heard, when I payed attention to the news of course. But enough of that, I'm sure you know enough about it to tell it back to front.
"Hey Jake!" I turn when I hear someone calling my name and sigh, it's only Anthony, a friend of mine who I've known since I got here. He's around 5'2'' with short shaggy brown hair. He almost always wears black, or blue or even red. I don't fully understand his fascination with only those colors but hey, I don't judge him and he doesn't judge me.
"Hey Anthony" I greet him, still walking towards my destination.
"Where you off to in such a rush" He asks, stopping beside me before matching my pace. Honestly, no matter where I go or am, he seems to pop up out of nowhere and sometimes, it's a little scary.
"Eh, nowhere special, not today anyway" I answer, shifting the weight of the bag on my shoulder, I should really start to pack lighter.
"Ah huh, sure. I know were you're going anyway, cause I've been called in to. Something about getting some training, Fury was a little short on the details" Anthony mumbles before seeming to drift off into his own little world.
Yea it's true, If Fury called him to, then there will be a few others joining us, just perfect. From what Fury told me, since I paid more attention then Anthony ever would. The Avengers had screwed up some important mission and the Director had had enough. Though, why he was calling us all in and getting us to meet him and the Avengers was another thing all together. I just hopped I wouldn't be here long, I had things to do today. One being finding my sister and going hunting, something we did a bit when we needed to get away. We weren't great with the bow but hey, we were learning. I don't pay much attention to what Anthony's rambling on about when we reach a large building, just the first stop I guess. "Come on, better hurry up or Fury will rip our heads off" I joke, trying to lighten the mood of a situation I know is more serious then it seems at first. Let me get one thing right, I have never and never intended to work for SHEILD. I've done everything I could even think of to stay off their radar, but judging by the fact I'm heading up in an elevator with Anthony and a couple other people I don't know, I don't think my plan went the way I wanted it to.
When we reach the roof we find Fury standing there, the moment I spot him I can tell everything just got a whole lot more serious, and annoying, always more annoying. "Welcome, you're going to be the last to arrive, the others are waiting" He says before gesturing to the aircraft I take it we are to get into. With a sigh, my grip tightens on the bag hanging on my shoulder before I follow after Anthony and the others, taking a seat and closing my eyes, waiting for this to just be over. But of course I know, that the closer we get to that damn floating ship or what ever you wanna call it I know things are gonna go from bad to worse. With a sigh I open my eyes and lean forward, hands place on the bag between my feet. What I have in it was something Fury told me to grab, and I never needed it unless I needed to fight or well, anything really. The only time I used it was when I went hunting, yep thats right, my bow. Which oddly enough fits perfectly in this bag, I don't know how but it does.
"So, what do you think Fury wants with us?" I hear Anthony ask from beside me. His question can mimic my own, what does Fury want with us.
"Who knows, whatever it is I can guarantee it's not going to be good" I respond, leaning back against the cold metal of the aircraft. I don't want anything to do with Fury's plans, but I think I made myself clear on that note. As the aircraft jerks to a halt I sigh, knowing we've reached our destination, wonderful. I stand, slinging the bag over my shoulder again before we all follow Fury out. We don't have time to look around as he leads us to what I guess, it the main control room. No sooner then I step foot inside am I almost knocked off my feet by someone grabbing my in a hug and I groan knowing who it is almost instantly.
"Hello to you to Bree" I sigh to the dark haired girl. Yep, this here, is my sister. And thats enough to make me wonder what the fuck Fury wants with us. I pry her arms from around my neck so she settles with clinging to my arm.
"I didn't believe Fury when he told me you'd be coming here to!" She almost squeaks and I inwardly wince at the pitch in her voice, I can see Anthony do the same and smirk, knowing that her high pitched voice doesn't just annoy me either.
"Yes well, I'd love to know why we are here to begin with" I say, loud enough to catch the attention of the others who traveled here with me and Anthony, over at a large table I see them, the Avengers and none look happy about whats about to happen.
"First off, let me introduce you all to the team" Fury starts and I glare at him and I swear if looks could kill, he would have died nine times over. "We know who they are, now quit stalling Fury. Why the fuck are we here" I snap, not pleased by finding my sister here. I feel my sisters grip on my arm tighten, a silent yet clear plea for me to calm down. She knows what I'm like when I get pissed off enough. I catch Fury's eye and smirk, he isn't pleased with my outburst. Good.
"Well then, since you can't seem to be patient, I'll tell you why you and the others are all here Jake" Fury speaks and I swear, the smug look on his face is enough to make me falter for a second. "I'll skip the details you don't need. The short version of everything is, you six are here because the Avengers are going to be training one of you each, as a way to make up for constantly failing in their missions. It would seem they can't work together as well as with the Chitauri attack" Fury says and thats it, thats enough. I am not staying here and being trained by these people, people I hate with every fucking bone in my body for my own damn reasons. Before I can even think of leaving my sister tightens her grip on my arm and I look at her. "Stay" Is the one word she says and I know that if I leave, she wont and I'll be damned if I'm leaving her here alone.
"Jake, Bree, Anthony, Jonah, Reyna and Ted. You lot will be living here now, you will train daily with the person who is assigned to train you. You will learn their skills and when the time comes, accompany them on missions." Fury says and I stand there, taking in everything he's saying. Though now I'm more then a little interested. Just who will be training us, I mean, they have to fit our own abilities that we know already right? Wait, if theres six of us, and five of them. Then how the fuck is that going to work. Just as I think this a bolt of lightning lights up the room, causing me to bring up an arm to shield my eyes from the blinding light. When the light fades I find myself looking at Thor and now it makes sense, though, I never thought of him as a member of the Avengers so, this is slightly confusing now.
"Just in time Thor" Fury says, nodding to the god as he looks around, taking in whats going on and looking as confused as I feel. "Now" Fury starts, turning back to us. "We need to know what you can do. Jake, I'm pretty sure I know who will be training you, but I want to make sure. We'll head down to the lower decks, theres a large enough room down there that we can see what you can all do. If you'll follow me" He says, heading for the door. "Everyone" He says, casting a pointed glance at the Avengers who get up and follow. I'm yet to know why they have been so quiet, I guess I'll find out soon enough. I fall into step with Anthony and Bree, none of us like where this is going and well, I can tell somethings off.
Once we reach the room I notice a few things, training dummies for one, both close and at the other side of the room, probably for long ranged training. Though I don't get a good enough look around before Fury gets my attention. "Jake, since I know what you can do more or less, you can go first, get things out of the way so I hope you brought that bow with you" He says and I sigh. Great, should have guessed there was a reason behind all this. I drop the bag I've been carrying since I left my home, open it and pull out a nice, white bow with small hints of gold to it. Nothing I used for hunting but this was my fathers and when I hear a gasp from Bree I can tell she remembers. With a small shake it folds out, coming to stand half my hight. I get handed two Arrows and wonder why two, don't need to ask when Fury speaks up. "We don't have a large enough room to fully test your capabilities, so hitting two targets on either end of the room at once should be enough"
I roll my eyes but I get it, if I can hit both then I know who I'll end up getting and I loathe the thought of training with Hawkeye. For a moment I think about purposely missing one of the targets, but Fury would without a doubt know in a heart beat. So I take up the normal stance, hold both arrows in the bow and take a breath. It takes a moment for my aim to steady and for my focus to be on nothing but the two targets I have. After a moment I pull my arm back as far as I can, waiting a little longer before letting go and watching the arrows go through the air, piercing both dummies through the head at once. Almost right after the bows gone from sight, back in the bag and my sister is as my side, knowing that I hate having to use a bow like that. The last time I trained with a bow in such a way was when our father was training me to be a 'perfect soldier' as he called it. I take a seat, and a breath while I watch. The next person up is Anthony and I raise an eye brow in question. The only thing I have ever seen him do is sleep.
"Lets see what you can do" Fury says and I inwardly laugh at the face Anthony pulls. "Sure thing cyclops" He laughs. Anthony rolls his arms in the air around himself a couple times, probably loosening up or something. He pulls his arm back before punching forward, sending a dummy across the room and through the wall. "Good enough" Anthony asks, laughing as he walks over to me and Bree, taking a seat beside us. "You know, I'm not sure you destroyed all of it" I joke.
Next up is one of the two who traveled with us here, Jonah. He looks, at first, uncertain he wants to show us what he can do and for a moment I wonder if he can do anything at all. But after a moment he proves he really fucking can. I blink as a moment ago the room was perfectly fine and now well, half the dummies are either completely gone or on fire. "Did he just...set everything on fire" I ask Anthony who's still beside me, nodding along.
As the afternoon drags out we learn that Reyna is not only insanely fast but can kick some ass, easily putting Anthony to shame who offered to take her on to see what she could do. Turns out Bree is also a know it all, though can't do anything without the weapons shes created and fail to let me know about, lovely. Last of all we find out that Teddy, who would rather be called Ted, can change forms, either becoming something as small as an ant to hide or as giant as a well, I would guess dinosaur. Though, to show us what he can really do he kinda does something that reminds me of Dr. Banner over there. He gets pissed and when I say pissed I mean rip off your head pissed and the aftermath is nothing I'd like to fight. Lets just say, he turned fucking huge and black. As in, the darkest color black with red eyes, kinda looked like a wolf. Says it happens if he can get mad, gee, wonder who he'll be with.
In the end we get told who well be trained by. I get Clint Barton, Anthony gets Steve Rogers, Bree, and this is a fucking shock, gets Tony Stark. That Jonah kid no surprisingly gets Thor, Reyna ends up pairs with Natasha Romanoff and angry dude Ted ends up with Dr. Banner. Yep, this is fucking great.
